About WibTeX

WibTeX is a small, and easy-to-use and cross-platform database application that allows you to manage your references to books, articles and other texts. Other media such as music CD's, DVD's etc. are supported, too, but WibTeX's strength ist professional assistance to academics who must cite frequently and who want to organize their citations properly. A main feature of WibTeX is the interface to Microsoft Word, Libre-/OpenOffice and LyX / BibTeX, a TeX package by Oren Patashnik.

Moreover, WibTeX can be used to look up and fully catalog collections of books and small libraries. The program can download information and cover pictures from the internet. BibTeX permits to cite from a central database file and has many formatting features. This way references once typed are available in all new documents, and the table of references can be generated. You even have your own integrated cloud so you can easily share data between different devices or with other research team members.
